Reader’s Question:
I’ve heard that the corporate culture at Fuji TV has come under scrutiny due to a recent internal investigation revealing rampant sexual harassment and power harassment. In particular, it seems that in the news department, 18% of employees reported experiencing physical contact, while 28% mentioned having sexual conversations at work. These figures are quite alarming and seem unimaginable for
an ordinary company. Is Fuji TV really okay? Moreover, in the information production department, issues regarding sexual jokes and inappropriate physical contact are being highlighted. Doesn’t this indicate a significant problem with the company’s internal ethics? Furthermore, it seems that a third-party committee set up by Fuji Media Holdings will also investigate past harassment cases, suggesting that these issues have been prevalent for quite some time. The drama “Elpis” portrayed sexual harassment and power harassment, and if this reflects the actual corporate culture, it paints a rather serious picture. Is Fuji TV genuinely committed to addressing these issues, or are they merely going to respond superficially? What do you all think? Do you believe that Fuji TV can truly change, or will they once again sweep this under the rug?
Reflections on Fuji TV’s Corporate Culture
Recently, I’ve heard that sexual harassment and power harassment have become serious issues at Fuji TV based on their internal survey. I was honestly shocked when I saw the numbers from the news department: 18% of employees reported experiencing physical contact, and 28% acknowledged having sexual conversations at work. Such figures are hard to fathom in a typical company, raising concerns about Fuji TV’s current state.
Corporate Ethics and Culture
I’ve also heard that sexual jokes and unwanted physical contact are problematic in the information production department, which indicates a troubling state of internal ethics. The portrayal of sexual harassment and power harassment in the drama “Elpis” could be overlapping with the actual corporate environment, making it even more concerning. As a viewer, I find myself questioning the content produced in such a workplace. Personally, I’ve had experiences in the past where harmless jokes escalated into uncomfortable situations. The person making the jokes often downplayed it by saying, “I was just joking!” In the moment, I felt like I had to laugh it off, but upon reflection, I realize that it crossed the line. The workplace atmosphere is indeed crucial.
Hopes for Improvement
I am a bit worried about whether Fuji TV will seriously tackle these issues. There are concerns that their response might end up being superficial. As some users commented, it’s vital for younger employees to speak up. As viewers, we should also keep a close watch on Fuji TV’s actions. While I’ve heard that the real estate sector is doing well, that alone won’t solve these problems. I hope they fulfill their responsibilities as a news organization and provide clean reporting. Ultimately, the question that lingers for viewers is, “Can Fuji TV truly change?” So, what do you all think about this situation? If you have experiences or opinions regarding workplace harassment, please share your thoughts in the comments! I hope we can exchange ideas and move towards a better direction together.
